MILK-CAN CARRIER.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, AUcUs'r M. WILD- BERGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Parkville, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Milk- Can Carriers, of which thefollowing is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvement in milk can carriers.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a carrier for milk cans or the like which may be quickly attached to the can and which will securely hold the same in a substantially vertical position when the can is lifted.
A further object is to provide a holder which will support the can from its neck portion without disturbing the top of the can, and in such a manner that the hand of the person carrying the can will not come in contact with the same.
In handling cans of the type shown in the drawing, that is, a can having a reduced neck that receives a cap which constitutes the closure, the same are lifted by pivoted handles mounted on the side of the can below the reduced neck. Thus, when the can is lifted by one handle, the same assumes a slanting position rendering the same awkward to carry, due to the uneven distribution of weight. Furthermore, milk is apt to unseat the cap should said cap be at all loose.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportion and minor details without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the device arranged on the can which is to be lifted.
Fig. 2 is an edge elevation of the lifter removed from the can.
Fig. 3 is a section taken on of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a slightly modified form.
In the drawings 10 designates a milk can the line 8-3 Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed. July 1, 1916.

Serial No. 107,113.
which is of the usual construction, being provided with. a reduced neck portion 11 which-receives the cap 12, the neck at its upper end being formed with a continuous flange 13 on the upper face of which rests the flange of the cap.
Cans of this type, as above stated, are provided at their sides below the reduced neck with pivoted handles l l and, in lifting the can to maintain the same vertical, it is necessary for the person lifting the same, to use both hands, thereby allowing but one can to be carried at a time.
The present invention consists in providing a lifter which consists of the semicircular bail 15 which provides the hand grip. At the lower ends of the bail and preferably formed integral with the same, is a semi-circular engaging member 16 disposed substantially at right angles to the bail. The ends of said engaging member at the point where they connect with the lower ends of the bail are flared outwardly, whereby to permit of the ready insertion of the ring about the neck of the can.
In practice the semicircular member 16 is placed about the neck below the flange 18 and then raised until the same contacts with said flange, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Thus the can may be lifted with one hand and supported in a vertical position, the wei ht of the can being evenly distributed, which is not the case when the same is lifted by either of its handles.
Particular attention is directed to the fact that the hands of the person lifting the can need not come in contact with the same either in placing the device in position or while the same is in use.
I11 the form shown in Fig. 4 the handle is disposed obliquely with respect to the can engaging member, whereby to bring the hand of the person lifting the can nearer the vertical center of the can, thus more evenly distributing the weight.
The many advantages of a device of this character will be clearly apparent as it will be noted that the same affords an effectual lifting device for milk cans which permits of the can being carried in a substantially vertical position while being supported with but one hand. This is a decided advantage as, in handling milk cans which are placed side by side and very close together, a can may be lifted without disturbing the adjacent cans, it being unnecessary to slant the can or to have access to the handle which is positioned below the reduced neck. It will also be seen that the device which, as above stated, is preferably formed of a single piece of material, may be easily and cheaply manufactured. I 7
What I claim is:
A carrier for milk cans andthe like,-embodying a neck having an outstanding flange at its upper end, the same comprising a semi-circular member to engage about the neck of the can and make contact with'the under side of the outstanding flange there; of, outwardly extending pro ections at the disposed substantially at a right angle to the nec loengaging member and having its ends joined thereto by the said outwardly extending projections, the latter being 7 wholly in the plane of both the bail and the semi-circular neck-engaging member.
